What to do when Article numbers are unreliable?

2006-08-16 Thread David Kastrup

Hi,

with my current news provider, it appears like I get one of a bunch of
news servers on each connection, and the relation between article
numbers and articles is not kept.  That means that whenever I type ^
in order to go up in a thread which I have read before, I get an
article has been cancelled or expired message.  A nuisance.  The
same happens when trying to access old articles.

Is there a possibility to forget the article id-article number
correlation whenever the connection to the server closes?

I don't think so. Gnus uses article numbers for remembering which
articles you've read, not Message-IDs.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.

 Is there an easy way to change a normal reply I've been working on
 into a wide reply?

,[ (info (message)Header Commands) ]
| `C-c C-f w'
|  Insert `To' and `Cc' headers as if you were doing a wide reply
|  even if the message was not made for a wide reply first.
`

,[ `C-h k menu-bar Field Fetch To and Cc' ]
| menu-bar Field Fetch To and Cc runs the command
| message-insert-wide-reply
|which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `message'.
| It is bound to C-c C-f w, menu-bar Field Fetch To and Cc.
| (message-insert-wide-reply)
| 
| Insert To and Cc headers as if you were doing a wide reply.

Bye, Reiner.
